At Fachpack Nurnberg 2015, KUKA celebrates the premier of the KR AGILUS Hygienic Machine, perfectly tailored for the fast moving consumer goods industry, as well as the KR QUANTEC PA arctic, suitable for palletizing in freezing environments.

The 2015 Chinese International Industry Fair was of particular importance to KUKA because it was the first time we conducted a global product launch in China, indicating the growing importance of the Chinese market to KUKA Robotics. Already China is the largest single market for the entire global robotics industry, and this trend will continue to increase in the coming years. Come along with us as we recap the event and shine a spotlight on the importance of the Chinese robotics market in this highlights video.

+ Precise position detection of different burr contours by sensor system
+ flexible tool change on the robot during operation
+ precise finishing of castings with high reproducibility
+ combination of a robot and a three-axis positioning unit guarantees highest degree of felxibility

Customers can run their robot just like they used to run their machine tool thanks to Sinumerik RunMyRobot and mxAutomation. KUKA's Andreas Schuhbauer, Market Segment Manager Machine Tools and Marc Konrad, Siemens AG Vice President Sales Machine Tool Systems give insight in practical application scenarios.

An integrator is able to program the robot with KUKA mxAutomation software, directl in PLC language. An operator can control the robot in daily business directly in Sinumerik operate. Both can work the way they are used to without long ramp-up and a loss of quality.
